--(Y/N) POV---

My lips, soft like an oceans breeze, part into a faint grin. With an undeniable feeling of cold steel stretching throughout my etched body, his eyes were trying to tare through me like blades.

"Like you, I was taught how to manipulate thought through my actions. That's why you asked me to play, hm?" I blow, slightly lifting an eyebrow in pride. "Long ago a... friend taught me this valued skill. You're like an open book, but maybe a bit harder to read unlike the rest."

A short silence follows shortly after. "You caught me off guard. It seems I can only return the favor now," he responds as he quickly snatches my wrist and pulls me out of my current place of sitting.

"What the hell are you doing! Get your hand off of me!" I yell, attempting to thrash myself out. It's no use, through, all my strength seemed to of drained.

"Something or someone is making you paranoid. I can't help but theorize that you will never come around in telling me, is that correct?" He asks as I am still being dragged down the hall.

I look away and seize my weak attempts at escape. Like an open book. Damnit, he was good.

My hesitation seemed to be enough of an answer as he  lightly nods his head in confirmation. With a now racing heart, I am more desperate. "Please, it's alright! You can't do anything or good people will die, do you hear me! Their death is on your hands now too!"

"So you're being blackmailed?" He stops and shoves me against a wall. "Is that what it is, (Y/N)? You leave me and get into life threatening trouble the second you're out of my grasp?"

My breathing tightens at the sudden proximity. "I am my own fucking person. Get that in your head before you claim I cannot be on my own," I seethe, daring to look at those black pit's dead center. "You're obsessed, yet still hiding behind that pathetic mask. I see through you, Dream. Crystal-fucking-clear."

"You can't even face your own shadow, get a grip!" he shouts in response. "Without me you would only be rotting in the hands of Schlatt, yet I can see you haven't let go of that. Admit it, without me you would be as good as dead."

At the note of Schlatt's name, I freeze. He must know something... And if he does, it can't be anything good. He's taking no action to slit his alcohol-based throat. No mercy? Oh please spare me.

"Maybe you're right," I mumble. "But I'm done with your bullshit lies. Show me something real instead of all these plastic promises. Why do you even want me alive?"

His grip loosens lightly. "You wouldn't get it."

"What haven't I got? I seem to be walking in circles, yet I can still pinpoint something from another, but never with you," I ease. "My circle is infinite when I speak to you."

"Well keep searching and someday I'll take you to the end of your 'infinity.'" His tone expresses a non visible smirk.

"Fine." I can't help but smile. "But I'm still not an object of yours, I'm not a player in your game of chess."

"Alright," he laughs, backing up. "If you insist."

I give a light smile up to his towering figure. How can words change conflict so easily? I will never understand.

"I want to take you to see something," He says after a while of walking down an endless hall, "but we have to be careful."

"Where are we going?"

"L'Manberg."
